Matplotlib Tutorial (Part 1): Creating and Customizing Our First Plots

[@coreyms]

I hope everyone finds this video helpful. The next video of the series will be posted tomorrow at the same time. The next video will cover how to create bar charts, and also how to load in data from a CSV file. We'll learn how to load in data using both the standard library and pandas, so be sure to check that out. I'd like to thank Brilliant for sponsoring this series.

Love your series, few months ago started to use pandas/metplotlib and now I'll use it on xlsx files that I converted to CSV, glad u'll upload a video for this :)

[@BergenVestHK]

Oh wow, this is perfect! I haven't had the time to check these out until now, but now I see I have ten wonderful videos in front of me. And matplotlib is such a great and useful topic too. And I had no idea about the xkcd style! Haha! Awesome! Your channel is a gold mine! Thank you so much, Corey! Keep up the excellent work!

I've always hacked together my matplotlib charts. Glad there is now a tutorial from the best teacher on the youtubes.

[@nickt423]

I feel like I'm constantly pausing the video and googling to find an easier way to do things. When I come back and hit play, Corey explains that exact same thing I just looked up. Corey is a master at teaching!

The best programming teacher on KZbin, bar none, making Data Science tutorials? This is simply amazing!

[@DANNYEL20122]

I just want to say "Thank you so much".. People like you make the world a better place

[@alkarani01]

Your way of coding is so clean and less confusing as compared to others. Thank you!

[@TM-bn8pv]

Thank you so much, Corey! You probably have no idea how many dream careers you've made with all these videos. Programming is complex enough by itself, but for beginners to advanced, it is hard to find the first truly educational material that'll slowly and methodically help you take your first meaningful steps to their dream or advancement in their career. You've truly done it! This is the kind of stuff that'll help people and the world who learned from your videos. Keep it up!

[@TM-bn8pv]

Also, if you have time and know...I wanted to ask if you could point me in a direction of a resource(es) for my 9 year old nephew, who is a really smart kid and wants to learn programming? Like what and where to start, sort of how you have provided me the, at last, the best resource to start with. We've tried different sites and what not, and he gets through some but then runs into a roadblock. His dream is to be a video game designer. He spends mist of his time after homework and in the summer outside drawing up, and live roleplaying his video, then will do a "youtube video" as the game developer talking about it like you'd see at E3.

[@coreyms]

Hey there. That's a great question, but unfortunately I don't know many resources for teaching children. I would love to put together a series on that topic myself. I have a 9-year-old niece and would love for her to learn as well. Wish I could provide some resources but I don't know any off the top of my head. If you ever find any good ones then please send them my way.

[@TM-bn8pv]

@@coreyms Thanks for responding! I truly appreciate it. We've tried some kids coding apps and similar stuff but he outgrows it too fast. Hopefully I can find something for him to do while not outside this summer. Unrelated to programming, If your niece is into stories, writing stories, and would like to get into video editing to make those stories, there's a pretty cool website called Zimmer Twins. Easy enough for that age range to write and create story videos, with these "Zimmer Twins" cartoon characters as the "actors." Free version without editing ability, and for either $3.99 or $4.99/month you can edit them and share them within the ZT website for other kids to view, rate, and comment on. She can be like her uncle :-) I'll let you know if I come across or research further something that might be worth a look for kids programming courses.

corey you are literally the only youtuber am happy to see getting and running sponsor segments. Your work is super valuable man, keep going!

[@VishalSharma-rn7mt]

You are legend, the way you explain the concepts is unbelievable, even paid courses instructor will fail against you.

[@andresvodopivec5950]

Corey, Thank you so much for helping out the community. Thanks to you I was able to start coding and got very good at it. I decided to support you. I am just a student and sorry I cannot contribute what you really deserve for all the effort you put on your videos. I am very grateful and wish you the best.

[@coreyms]

Thanks so much!

[@arghyadas2836]

What do you study? Like yourself, I too am a student.

[@EdwardRLyons]

I have completed this series of ten videos over the course of two days. It is an outstanding learning resource, and I can recommend it highly to anyone looking to learn the basics of Matplotlib. I have learned more from these ten videos than in the past month or more from a couple of books I have purchased, and other videos I've tried on KZbin. The style of presentation and the structured sequence, building from one video to the next, are of the highest quality. Completed over a weekend as I have done makes them at least as effective as attending an intensive one- or two-day training course. Perfect for anyone needing to scale the initial steep learning curve of using Matplotlib within Python. And so, on to Pandas ...

[@coreyms]

Thanks!

[@stephenpeterwandera9176]

Corey Shafer, you have the best youtube tutorials for coding I've ever come across. You've transformed me!

[@languagejourney3519]

I have very little knowledge of python so this is the first python video that has actually taught me how to do something. Even better, it didn’t start with a “hello world”, thank you! Clear, concise, and right to the point

[@Ak-ash-jr5vn]

Really, really the best ever teacher for programming- I guarantee.
